1. Aranya Vihara trek booking: the advance booking window
When you begin your booking, remember that treks can be booked up to a maximum of 30 days in advance of the trek date. Group sizes are capped for safety and trail conservation, so popular dates fill quickly on a first-come basis. Pick a date within the next 30 days and confirm early — weekends and long weekends are the first to go. Planning a monsoon climb like the Kudremukh trek? Lock your slot as soon as your dates are set.
2. Aranya Vihara trek booking cancellation and refund policy
Plans change, so every booking is covered by the same clear refund terms:
- A 50% refund for cancellations made up to 7 days before the trek date.
- No refund for cancellations made within 7 days of the trek date.
- No bookings will be accepted against cancellations — a cancelled booking cannot be swapped or transferred to a new date.
For example: if your trek is on the 20th, cancel on or before the 13th for a 50% refund. Cancel on the 14th or later and the booking is non-refundable. Knowing this upfront helps you choose a date you can commit to.
3. Identity proof on trek day
Every trekker must carry the original identity card used during the booking process. It must be presented on the day of the trek for verification at the base point. Photocopies and phone photos are not accepted, and the name on the ID should match the booking. No valid original ID means no entry — so double-check your bag the night before you travel.
How to complete your Aranya Vihara trek booking
The process is quick and mostly happens over WhatsApp:
- Pick a date within the next 30 days.
- Message us on WhatsApp to confirm availability and reserve your slot.
- Carry the original ID used at booking on the day of the trek.
That’s it — three steps between you and the ridge line.
Why these booking rules exist
Aranya Vihara treks run through protected Western Ghats terrain with limited daily entry. A fixed 30-day window lets us manage group sizes, brief our trek leaders, and coordinate forest-department permissions. The refund timeline gives your slot enough notice to be reopened for another trekker if you can’t make it, and ID verification keeps every group accountable and safe on the trail. In short, the rules exist to protect the trail, keep groups small, and make sure everyone who shows up gets a genuine, uncrowded experience.
